On Wednesday, the judge heard nearly two and a half hours of testimony and ruled that Williams was not guilty before dismissing the case.

“I’m just excited that this is behind us now - that the court found me not guilty - this was a political hit job from day one so we’re looking forward to my newborn son. I’m looking forward to the work in session ... continuing to come back afterward - represent the district to secure their reelection vote,” Williams said.
